  1. ‘I can’t keep this up much longer’: Parents struggle with pandemic strain
    https://www.csmonitor.com/The-Culture/Family/2020/0709/I-can-t-keep-this-up-much-longer-Parents-struggle-with-pandemic-strain
    As the pandemic wears on, how can working parents keep juggling everything? Many are taking a problem-solving approach – carefully thinking through options, tapping into networks, and asking for flexibility at work.

  1. Do ‘Real Men’ Work Remotely?
    https://www.law.com/americanlawyer/2020/06/25/do-real-men-work-remotely/

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/14/us/women-men-pandemic-disasters-help.html
    Women and men are equally likely to step up in a time of crisis, but they tend to do so in different ways.
  1. How to Reopen Schools: What Science and Other Countries Teach Us
    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/14/us/coronavirus-schools-fall.html
    The pressure to bring American students back to classrooms is intense, but the calculus is tricky with infections still out of control in many communities.
  1. The key lesson from school openings abroad: Contain the virus
    https://www.vox.com/2020/7/15/21324082/coronavirus-school-reopening-trump-children-safetyIf schools in America do reopen, other countries have some best practices worth adopting.

    The pandemic has led to a sharp fall in the number of children around the world being vaccinated, the UN says.
  1. Are hasty operations on intersex children becoming a thing of the past?
    https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/jul/14/intersex-children-hasty-operations
    When babies are born with ambiguous sex, doctors and parents often rush to intervene with surgery. That approach is harmful, say intersex advocates
  1. The data is in: men are too fragile to wear Covid-19 masks. Grow up, guys
    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jul/03/covid-19-masks-men-masculinity
